Hi,

I am having MROWorkTable form header title uses data source display method to display the title in the form, i want to change the title in the form, its just displaying workid, i also want to add description to that display method. I want to change this following code in display method

[Datasource]

Class workordertable

{

public display name headerName()

{

return strfmt("@MRO1040", workordertable.workorderid);

}

Here i want to add workordertable.description after workorderid. All this code is in form.

Please give me an idea how to add this value to display method trough extension

Thanks
